Dear Rotarians,

Although we in Rotary E-Club of 3310 have been helping the Roslin Orphanage with the help of our Club's VP Captain Budi in many ways, I personally, sincerely look forward to the DAY we Rotarians (mean ALL Rotarians together -not only our E-Club) can adopt this Orphanage and run it as an on-going Project with a worthy cause. 

Hope this happens in the near future.

Warm Regards,

Shirin

   Hi Budi and all

   Your article in the Straits Times also caught the eyes of our PDG Chris Chen who has added his signature for support.

   I am sure many Rotarians and clubs will recognise your efforts and sentiments in due course.

Isn't perspective a wonderful thing?

 INSPIRATIONAL SAYING

There are four ways, and only four ways, in which we have contact with the world. We are evaluated and classified by these four contacts: what we do, how we look, what we say, and how we say it.

Dale Carnegie


May these sayings give us the motivation to do our best and be the best we can be.

Just to keep everyone posted...

Rotary Club of Semarang Kunthi (the host club) is in the final process of submitting a Matching Grant proposal to TRF for the following project.

Location: Roslin Orphanage, Kupang, West Timor, Indonesia

This ‘Train the Trainer’ project aims to train local teachers to teach English as a second language both within the Roslin Orphanage and also the surrounding community, so the children can become employed in the tourist industry and also advance to and beyond tertiary education level via their local Undana University. They have no other significant employment industry in this region.

It is planned to develop a working but voluntary link with the Undana University, which provides teacher training for its relevant students, who (it is hoped), will become involved in the English Language programme as a part of their own regular study programme. A pool of teaching resources will be built up in the course of the project, which will include Information technology devices. This will ensure that a good up-to-date standard is maintained. Structured curriculum will also be incorporated by the specialist teachers directly involved in setting up the programme, with advisory assistance from the local University so that the language development programme remains valid, localized and consistent.

The host and international partners (Rotary eClub of 3310 and Rotary Club of Armadale) shall be responsible for the following:-

1. Coordinate and vet outside volunteers using a ‘what, how and when’ schedule–especially those associated with the ‘Train the trainer in teaching English as a second language” , which is the focus of this specific programme.
2. Organize, purchase and provide essential learning resources, to be used for the programme.
3. Sign a dated teacher/volunteer support schedule that provides maximum support and continuity as far as this is possible. Consideration will be given to who the candidates are, what skills they can offer and what actual programme they will engage the children in. Local university student input will also be considered here.
4. Engage the local university lecturer staff to include student efforts as a part of their own training course.

At this point of time, we have received the following financial commitment:-

Rotary Club of Semarang Kunthi  US$100 + US$200 in DDF (District 3400)

Rotary Club of Armadale  US$3,000 + US$3,000 in DDF (District 9470) 

Rotary Club of Bukit Timah US$1,000

Rotary Club of Belait US$3,000

Rotary eClub of 3310 US$1,000

(Total amount for the project based on the above contributions is US$18,550)

We wish to record our special thanks to PP Irvin Philips of Rotary Club of Armadale in Perth, Western Australia, for putting this together. You have certainly made a difference!
